  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I'd like to buy AMD, but I have all these use cases

    • HDMI 2.1 (4K @ 120Hz) - relevant after recent news, if planning to use open source drivers
    • CUDA + Machine Learning applications
    • DLSS still visually better than FSR
    • Ray Tracing still better on GeForce cards

    CUDA + Machine Learning applications

    AMD has HIP or Rocm, which unlike CUDA is free software. Any program that uses proprietary CUDA libraries is proprietary.

    Well yes and no. There is proprietary software that uses CUDA but there also is other AI software that optionally uses CUDA. Usually there is a free software built version

    I think the first one can be circumvented by just using a DP->HDMI adapter. But yeah, those other points are why I'm a bit hesitant about swapping to AMD myself.
